Market Analysis Area Location Camden, Rockland, Lincolnville Beach & Beyond
Located just 4 miles north of Camden, on Atlantic Highway (US Route 1) in Maine’s Midcoast area, is the town of Lincolnville Beach. Although it will never rival the name recognition of our more famous neighbor, Lincolnville Beach is within minutes of all of Camden’s attractions while offering quite a few of its own on a road less traveled. Spend a few days, or a week, in Lincolnville and you will truly experience why Maine is such a special place.

History of Lincolnville
Lincolnville forms the south-‐eastern point of Waldo County, being about 7 miles in length and 4 in width. It lies on the western shore of Penobscot Bay, 12 miles south of Belfast, and is on the stageline from Bangor to Rockland. Lincoln was formed of the plantations of Ducktrap and Canaan. It is bounded by Northport and Penobscot Bay on the north-‐east and east, Searsmont and Belmont on the north-‐west, Hope on the south-‐west, and Camden on the south. Nearly the entire border of the town is covered by hills or ponds. The highest is Peaked Mountain, standing on the eastern line and partly on Northport, which has an altitude of about 800 feet. The other most notable eminence is Muddy Mountain, lying at the extreme western part of the town. Pitcher Pond extends along the north-‐eastern line, lying partly in Northport. Its outlet, Ducktrap River, is the principal stream in the town. Andrew's Pond lies near the centre of the town, and Fletcher Pond in the western part. The closely-‐connected ponds, named Lincoinville, Canaan and Horton, in the south-‐western part, cover a large area in this town and in Camden. Ducktrap Stream has a pond surface of about 2,800 acres, and the faIl on the stream is 300 feet in 3 miles. The principal power is about 20 rods above Ducktrap bridge, and 40 rods from high-‐water mark. A canal could be made with a small outlay to conduct the water below the bridge, where factories could be built close upon tide-‐water, where vessels could lie beside them. This river, with feasible improvements, could be made to increase its power to be equal to carrying 75,000 spindles. McCobb Stream, Gould, Kendal and Andrew's Ponds each furnish some power; and each of the three last have a mill. The town has six lumber mills, a grist mill, a tannery, several lime and granite quarries, the last material being of a superior quality. There arc also manufactured here in small quantities tinware, boots and shoes and carriages. The surface of the town is generally broken, rocky, buggy and mountainous. The villages are Lincolnville Centre and The Beach, the latter the same as Lincolnville post-‐office. The nearest railroad connections are at Belfast and Rockland, each about 12 miles distant. There is connection eastward and with Boston by steamers. Lincolnville was incorporated June 23, 1802. John Studley and a Mr. Wilson commenced a residence in tile town in 1774, and were the first settlers.

Access and Visibility
Lincolnville sits in the middle of the “mid-‐coast”, about halfway between Portland and Bar Harbor/Acadia National Park. It’s a very popular stopover destination to and from Kennebunkport, Portland and Acadia. The inn’s location right along scenic Route 1 makes for easy access.
Market Position and Competition
Tourism is the number one industry in the state so the lodging choices in this area are wide-‐ranging, from small inns and bed and breakfasts to a few larger motels and hotels. Abbington’s is one of 8 small scale motels/cottage type properties in town.

Market Potential
When looking at any business, determining market potential is at times an exercise in creative imagination. A study of the revenue patterns for the past few years at Abbington’s will indicate a dip after 2009 but not as much due to the economy or tourism as for personal reasons. 2009 was the best year and dipped in to the lowest in 2011 but is now back on the rise. The current owners have had the property around 14 years and are just moving on to different things.
With a continued disciplined approach to the business, judicious expenditures for room upgrades, controlled expenses, creative marketing and a new website, Abbington’s has the prospect of generating a comfortable ROI with a wonderful business and lifestyle for new owners.
Investment Considerations
The process for assessing and valuing the business is multi-‐layered. The first step is to look at an actual profit and loss statement.
The second step is to consider fixed and variable costs. How can you manage things more affordably? How will you increase revenue without increasing expenses? What can you do more efficiently? Can you market more aggressively? Based on your cash down, how will your net operating income work for you?
The most important part of the investment analysis is the debt coverage ratio. This is important in assessing whether a lender would consider the cash flow to be adequate to support a loan. They are generally looking for a number of at least 1.25 to 1.3. With the appropriate down payment and aggressive marketing and increase in revenue, the numbers will work.
There are additional parcels of land that can be sold with Abbington’s. The seller is offering them for $75,000 for the two lots. They are 066 and 066A on the photo below.
